Version 0.9 of timeline on CRAN

The initial version of the timeline package has been released to CRAN. This package provides creates timeline plots using ggplot2 in a style similar to Preceden. I would considered this beta quality as there are more features I would like to add but has enough functionality to possibly be useful to others.

install.packages('timeline',repos='http://cran.r-project.org')
require(timeline)
